Method Detail

startTransaction

void startTransaction()
Starts a transaction.

If the value is set during a transaction the value must not replace the original value until commit() is called. Still, Property.getValue() must return the current value set in the transaction. Calling rollback() while in a transaction must rollback the value to what it was before the transaction started.

Property.ValueChangeEvents must not be emitted for internal value changes during a transaction. If the value changes as a result of commit(), a Property.ValueChangeEvent should be emitted.


commit

void commit()
Commits and ends the transaction that is in progress.

If the value is changed as a result of this operation, a Property.ValueChangeEvent is emitted if such are supported.

This method has no effect if there is no transaction is in progress.

This method must never throw an exception.


rollback

void rollback()
Aborts and rolls back the transaction that is in progress.

The value is reset to the value before the transaction started. No Property.ValueChangeEvent is emitted as a result of this.

This method has no effect if there is no transaction is in progress.

This method must never throw an exception.
